|
||
| WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas | ||
| have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and | ||
| workplaces throughout the state; among those who lost their lives | ||
| in the pandemic was Maria Garcia of Kenedy, a dedicated and | ||
| well-respected employee of the Texas Department of Criminal | ||
| Justice, who passed away on January 22, 2021, at the age of 60; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ms. Garcia worked at the Connally Unit, where she | ||
| set an example for others through her diligence, team spirit, and | ||
| positive attitude; she was always the first to volunteer for any | ||
| task that arose; in her free time, she enjoyed cheering on the | ||
| Dallas Cowboys and San Antonio Spurs, with her dog, Chico, at her | ||
| side; she was devoted to her family and also showed great kindness | ||
| to her coworkers, often brightening their days by bringing them a Dr | ||
| Pepper or M&Ms; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Maria Garcia faithfully and ably performed her | ||
| duties throughout her tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal | ||
| Justice, and she will long be remembered with great admiration by | ||
| all who were privileged to know her; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of | ||
| Maria Garcia and extend deepest sympathy to her family, friends, | ||
| and colleagues; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of | ||
| Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Maria | ||
| Garcia. | ||
